Getting acquainted with our payment gateway and its functionality.

Mereka Connect utilizes Stripe as such a tool for the majority of in-platform financial activities. Stripe is essentially a payment gateway which is widely used by various industry players, from online retailers and marketplaces to SaaS and subscription-based businesses.

Stripe facilitates the booking process for users when they confirm their booking and pay for a service of their choice. All payments are performed within the Mereka Connect platform for users’ convenience and security, as they are not prompted to finalize their transaction on a third-party webpage.
